Who this guide is for
System administrators – Requires 'System Admin' role and User Templates permission
Overview
Enable Full day bookings always equal 1 day at the Template level so a full working day of absence consistently deducts 1 day from entitlement for all users on that template.
How “Full day bookings always equal 1 day” Works
When enabled on an entitlement pot (e.g. Holiday) at Template level, any booking that covers a user’s full working hours for a day deducts exactly 1 day, regardless of the user’s Hours Per Day (HPD). Template overrides Global; User settings can still override the Template.
How to Set Up “Full day bookings always equal 1 day” (Template)
- Go to Admin tools > Admin panel > Template > User Templates.
- Click Edit on the required template (you’ll land on Template Settings by default).
- Select the Entitlements tab.
- Click Advanced.
- On the relevant entitlement pot (e.g. Holiday), enable Full day bookings always equal 1 day.
- Click Save Template at the top of the page.
Additional Information
- Hours Per Day (HPD): The standard daily working hours used for proportional calculations. With this setting on, a full-day booking always deducts 1 day, not a proportion based on HPD.
- Scope: Applies to day-based booking calculations for the selected pot across all users on the template.
- Permissions: Requires 'System Admin' role and User Templates permission.
- Warning: Template overrides Global; enabling here affects all users assigned to the template. User-level overrides will still take precedence.
- Best practice: Confirm the pot’s Time Unit (typically Days) and test with a sample user on the template before broad rollout.
